Let's get to some common ground

Cookie Monster's alright actually

I have had a tendency to hate on "bro step" (or whatever the fuck) but I guess i lean to that old school sound (coki etc)

A couple of my favourite tunes tearout i've loved purely for the mad ideas...

I'm more of a "tear out" fan. I like the big sounds and aggressive drops. I don't know why.. I just makes me want to jump up. Equally though I can happily sit back and enjoy the darker side of dub.

Loefah - Life Dub
Mala & Loefah - Da Wrath
Benga & Coki - Night
Nero - This Way (I love this beat, it's got that aggressive feel without being overpowering. Defo worth a listen if you haven't already)

I know it's in not dub related (don't shoot me down).. But I've been proper milking this lately. So smooth.

Much love for this thread.

IMHO the best way to make something sound heavy is to play it after something deep. There needs to be a thread of something that will hold the oposing tunes together. Or joining the dots as Giles Peterson would say.

I agree. That would make for a very interesting thread.

And as I've already said, I haven't heard anything by Flux that I could stomach... but I listened to I Can't Stop and It was ok. If properly dropped in a set, I think one could make it work.

Definitely agree. I hated it when people slagged bar 9 off. Midnight, Pull up and Strung out were all really experimental for their time (ha like 2 ears ago).

One of my favourites...

I've refrained from joining in, but now that Bar9 has been mentioned I decided to comment. Bar9 - Faded is about as tear out I can get while enjoying it or without just fucking off the dance floor or turning it off. A wobbly tune that could be enjoyable if dropped into a deep set and still get the nod.

16Bit is another producer(s) that to me is kind of like Goth-Trad; in that he does the tear-out stuff and the deeper stuff. Obviously, I prefer and only enjoy the latter, but its nuts to believe that stuff like Swine Flu and Skyline were made by the same guys.

Can we party like it's 1999 here?

This could pass off in normal Dubstep, Garage, Electro, Future Garage and Brostep gigs.

Great first thread btw.

I got into dubstep via all the wobble/bro but have definitley been converted to the deeper side. And most of the stuff I loved I now despise.

But tunes I still like on that tip

Bar 9 - The beginning
Downlink & Ale Fillman - Uncut

And im still a massive sucker for Emalkay - When i look at you. Ill never play it out. But as a wobble track i feel its still immense and would go nutz if it was dropped in a dance.

I'm new here and pretty new to the genre as far as getting into it heavily...I've always been heavy into Hip-Hop like J DIlla, Madlib, RJD2, Shadow etc so have always liked soulful, swinging, deep, somewhat experimental instrumental music and def have heard a lot of the dub most people like around here over the years through friends but was always more into/kept up with the Hip-Hop stuff I mentioned. I don't mind a bit of 'bro-step' ....it's good in the morning to get me going, at the gym sometimes, when I'm out but overall it does get a but much if ya try to listen to it all the time. I like stuff like Flux, Doctor P, Datsik etc etc but also like and have been playing the shit out of artists such as James Blake and Burial which I heard about when I started lurking here about a month back and def think that type of music will stand the 'test of time' better. I understand the viewpoint of those who 'hate on' the new stuff and the sudden blowing-up of the scene as I went through it myself with Hip-Hop, as the same thing happened pretty much in that genre but I don't pretend to have been heavy into dub for ages so it doesn't upset me and I embrace whatever I like.

And for the ones bout Flux Pavilion. Meathead truly is a great track imo. But the only one that i like and still play. Why doesnt he make more tracks like this?

Now this is one anyone can get behind:

Tranceheads, Progheads and dubheads will dig this.

...I wasn't talking about a forum thread but a thread that would hold a mix together. You know like some kind of common denominator within a mix that connects the music even though it is of oposing styles. See this for the blueprint;

Has anyone heard Skyline by 16Bit?
Never really got into 16Bits songs (to be fair I haven't heard that much) but that song blows me away everytime
